Night Rain looked into her sister's eyes for the first time up close.. she knew well that this giant wolf was her sister.. for no drow has her eyes. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she answers the male elf, "They are in the palace come wheres, the fools couldn't listen to me and not enter the great hall. I hope they are well..." Look of worry upon her face as she turns to her sister Quin. "My dear sister I know it is you, I have watched you for many months before our father and your mother was killed." She paused, as remembering that day.
"I have defided Lolth and have been praying to the Dark Maiden for these past years and she has guided me to you sister. I had refused to stay in a situation getting beaten and abused by the priestesses because I have a heart and want to use it for the better. I killed my last surface dweller the day I left the underdark. Even if I find confict I will not kill only defend, and I also will defend any who I find on my journey." Praying that her sister will see she is not lying she even got to her knees.

Still growling, Quin walks up to Night and starts to sniff her... in the back of her head she thought how weird that was, then realized when she transforms she gets the animals senses too. Quin could smell the fear yet, she could not sense any lies.... She did not know the drows well only because she lived away from them. The only drow she knew was her father, so she closed her eyes and pictured him. If she is good and her father was good, then there is a possibility that Night was good at heart like she is.
Quin opened her eyes, stopped growling and sat. "Athariel, please take Night Rain to the wine cellar, I am not going to leave Malek's nor Melari's side. After that, bring everyone to Malek's chambers and we shall meet in the hall." Quin did not know if it was a good idea, but she refused to leave his side.
After Night was out of hearing distance she growled, she is too soft. Quin needed to toughen herself up a bit, but those eyes.. they reminded her of her father... "Melari, I am sure Malek will be well, but he is going to need to be up for when the others return, if he is not we all will meet in the hallway, I don't want to leave him alone long or not watched. We don't know if there are others who are not from her little group." Quin's eyes glowed as she knew something was up she just did not know from where or when it would happen.

Athariel nodded, then bowed to Night Rain. Then he turned and walked briskly, but slow enough for Night Rain to keep up, to the wine cellar. His seal had been broken, which annoyed him. "Wizards," he muttered.
Peering in, he noticed a globe of darkness. Shaking his head again, "Wizards," he drew his bow and put a hand on his quiver, but did not draw an arrow.
"Nathan, these drow might not be enemies. Quin's half sister has shown up with a few friends. I would wait for her to come and talk to these in the wine cellar."
***
Melari didn't really know what was going on, or the purpose of the meeting in the hall. "I'm not sure I will be able to get him to wake, but I will try when they return."
***
As though in a dream, Malek was aware of a change in the wind.

Unsure of the feeling that roll with in her stomach she moves around Malek's chambers. Getting an uneasy feeling usually ment trouble as she growls low her eyes stay lit as if something was going to happen. Change in the way the wind blows and then silence. Nothing was heard not even a breath, she stops moving around and guards both Malek and Melari.
She snarls and gets in defense form her eyes glowing as she is ready to pounce on whoever walks around the corner. Quin is worried that this is more than just Night Rain and her band and she does not know what to do which makes her angry.

As Night Rain walked into the cellar a cold shiver went through her, here eyes widened and grabbed both the wizard and Athariel and threw them out of the darken area. She could see the drow as if it was day, and she could also see a spell upon them. Night Rain cried out "Where is my family!" Night pulled out her elven sword and stood in defense as she growled in anger. She also knew this did not look good to her. "These drow are not what they seem, quickly close the door and lock them in... if they get out trouble will be for certain. Quin needs to talk to these drow, maybe she can get some answers."
Night growled as she recognized one and he was not friendly or willing to give any information bout anything. She was sure both her and Quin would be able to do so... but it was still slim. Maybe with the help of the wizard they could pull out the info... only when Quin would get there would they now for certain.

Athariel felt himself lifted off the ground and flying through the air. He grunted when he fell flat on his ass in the hall outside the cellar. Standing, he turned to Nathan and bade him put a magical ward on the door.
"If possible, friend, make it so that only Malek, Quin, or Night can open it."

Maya groaned as she started to twitch, then suddenly jumped up wide awake as she recalled the last moments before passing out, of a battle that seemed to take place all around her...
...And suddenly wishing she hadn't.
Falling down to her knees almost instantly, her vision swam as her hands reached for the back of her head. There was no dampness, no signs of being wounded as far as she could tell, and aside from her clothing being a bit ruffled from apparently being carried around a lot, there wasn't anything wrong with her physically. Psychologically on the other hand...
- "Heh... Let me guess... Concussion, right? I can tell i've been healed, though my brain hasn't forgotten being shaken in my skull yet..." ^^;
The young drow looked next to her at the older elven woman, now able to make out more as her vision was starting to regain its focus. She didn't recognise her healer -- though at this point, she'd have a hard time recognising anybody [i:3gl7y7zd]at all[/i:3gl7y7zd] -- though the signs that she had been looking over her were clear to anyone.
- "Umm... What happened?"

[i:3q6lv857]In the village of Clan Elwesoron[/i:3q6lv857]
Far from the Dark Forest, Malek's father, the current king of the clan, Aenor, has recieved Athariel's message. Now he paces angrily in his room.
"The fool! Does my wayward son think that he can reclaim the entire forest? And now my eldest has fallen in battle! Is he dead? Is he injured? Damn!" He stopped to sit on his bed, his head in his hands. It had not been his choice to ostracize his only son, but the temple priests had demanded it, or they would have killed him. Bastards. All of them. The only temple cleric loyal to him was his sister, Athariel's mother. He cursed again. He knew what was right, and he knew what he must do. It was going to be a pain in the ass.
These days, Elwesoron lived in five villages scattered across one of the many unnamed forests of Faerun. Now he was in the village that housed the main branch of the military. He now spoke to his head general.
"General Neir, I need you to muster the army and march to the Dark Forest." King Aenor was one of the few people that still knew its original name, but that name was cursed now. His father had cursed it long ago when thay had left. "Leave a few battalions behind to keep our villages safe and to escort our people when the forest is won. Also, arrange for the wizards to teleport elite groups of soldiers and healers. I plan to be among the first group, along with my sister." He was already outfitted for battle, his long blonde hair pulled back, his katana at his side, clad in elven chain. His bow and quiver were on his back. Aenor was ready to avenge his son.

Pacing in a circle in Malek's chambers waiting for the return of the small group... "What is taking them so long to return" she growls. Quin sits next to the bed and rests her head upon him and feels ever breath he takes. She thinks to herself aloud as a tear falls from her cheek 'Malek wake up my love, I need you here with me. I need you to talk to me and tell me everything will be ok.' With that she closed her eyes as several tears fall upon his chest she closed her eyes and an aura of a soft blue surrounds her. A slow change happened with in her as she is calm, she in front of his sister shifted back into her self.
Quin stood up from the ground she was kneeling and looked at herself. She was back and she was angry as she then made a prayer to the Dark Maiden herself. She looked to his sister and asked where is the wine cellar as she hooked her bow and grabbed an arrow. There was trouble she could sense it as they were late coming back....

Smile came to Night Rains face as she could feel the change with in her sister and feeling her as she is near. The connection was complete but it was not a manner she had wanted it to be. Right now Quin and the others were not fond of her and could understand completely. Putting her mask of emotion in place she looked to the other two elves and stated, "Mage, these drow are no fond of light... you might want to try placing a trap in the spell of yours that will give a flash of light if they try and open the door. And thank you for bringing me down here Athariel but we must be careful when we return.. your cousin may shoot before we show ourselves." Not wanting to give away what little surprise she has Night turns and starts heading the way they came.
Giving a message to her sister Quin telepathically. "Sister, I hope you can hear my thoughts. We are returning, and the drow in the cellar are not who they seem to be. Our family killed them like what they did to your mother and our father. I can not ask you to trust me, but I do ask you to believe in me as I believe your what will end this war between the dark and surface elves. I always have sister since I have heard the prophecies and see it with my own eyes. You are going to be a great leader to our people and to the great warrior of the Dark Maiden herself of Eilistraee." A tear falls down her cheek as she closes her mind to get her focus back to the situation at hand.

Athariel listened intently to the words of Night Rain. Something was strange. He could not put his finger on it, but he couldn't think about that now. Standing, he brushed himself off, and waited for Nathan to finish casting. When they were ready, he led them back to Malek's chambers.
***
Melari watched in awe as Quin changed her form back into her normal self. She turned her attention back to Malek.
***
Malek's breathing became faster and louder. His lips twitched a couple of times, before his eyes slowly started to blink open. He looked around, seeing his sister, he smiled. He cast his eyes about the room, hearing footsteps in the hall.
As he looked around, his eyes fell upon her. Quietly, he called her name, "Quin."

A whisper of thoughts have come to her mind as Quin swore she heard Night Rain. She turns around and looks yet no one was there. Looking to and out the door bow in hand, nothing, no one. Quin had to take a step back and take a deep breath in and slowly exhaled and closed her eyes to concentrate. As she did this she heard more of the message and realized it was sincere. A tear fell down her cheek as it had been with Night...
"Quin" the soft voice from the man she knows had called her name.. full of emotion she whipped her head around to those eyes she had grown to love in only a few days time. Tears came as she drops her bow and falls to her knees as she wraps her arms around him gently yet protectively. She her self made a vow to the Goddess and made it loud and clear... "I, Quin, Vow to protect the ones I love with my very existence, m'lady of the dark moon, Eilistraee! This mark upon my hand will be the reminder to all of who and what I am. I am the warrior who will end this battle for now and forever!"
As she finishes the mark upon her hand had shown the symbol of the Dark Maiden herself. Shaken and angered Quin's eyes glowed as the power of the goddess runs through her. She has been touched by the gods from birth and now was her time to use her abilities. Quin looked to the man of who has stolen her heart and smiled warmly to him. She leaned over and kissed him as a tear falls upon him and made him glow with emence healing power to help him regain his strength. She stood up right for the first time with confidence in her own abilities, and she looked like a warrior she was ment to be.

Melari, excited that Malek was finally awake, decided to give herself some much needed rest. She excused herself, and went to her chambers.
***
Athariel, making his way back to where Malek rested, heard voices in the room. Sneaking up, he saw Melari come out. He looked at her questioningly. She didn't appear to see him, and because she looked so tired, he decided to let her leave.
Peeking into the room, he saw Quin embracing Malek, and that Malek was conscious. That was excellent news. He moved to close the doors to the master bedroom, and exchanged a look with Nathan.
Moving along, he went back to the throne room to wait for the King.
***
Malek, suddenly filled with vitality, sat up straight in bed. He gasped at the sudden strength in him. He listened intently to her vow. Getting out of bed, he moved to embrace her, as he heard the doors close. Wearing only a pair of loose, black pants, he took Quin in his arms, and kissed her lovingly and passionately.
***
Aenor stood in a small group of his finest soldiers. Among them were rangers, scouts, and arcane archers. Among this group was his sister, Naomi, the cleric of Corellan Larethian that would not commit treason when Malek had declared himself an Eilistraeen. He waited impatiently while the bumbling wizard gathered the necessary items for the spellcasting.
When all was [u:2im8p5cp]finally[/u:2im8p5cp] ready, the wizard spoke a command word and a portal appeared. As the group stepped in, they experienced a brief moment of whipping through time and space. Steeping out into the ancient throne room, Aenor saw his nephew, Athariel, was waiting for him.
"What has happened to Malek?! Where is my son?! Melari is here, too?! Where is she?!"
Athariel waited calmly and bowing to the king, he instead told his mother where to go to find a very young elf who had been injured during a battle. He warned that she was a drow, but that she was good-hearted. Naomi, listened intently to her son, and went briskly to Maya's room. All the while, Aenor did his best to wait patiently.
Athariel answered the king, telling him that Malek had regained his strength, and was in the master bedroom. Athariel warned Aenor that it would not be wise to burst in on him due to the presence of a special woman. He let it at that. He told the king that Melari was asleep in her room. Making a few quick introductions, he bade that the newcomers follow him so that he could find lodging for them all, and that proper introductions would be made in the morning.
***
Naomi walked into the room, the sealing ward parting for her due to her son's permission to enter the room. Walking to the bed, she kneeled next to it in prayer for healing strength. Standing, she cast a spell of healing, with particular attention to the young girl's head. Before she regained consciousness, Naomi brought out a pouch of herbs, and crushed a few leaves. They became a fine powder, and Naomi blew them into the air, giving it a pungent, yet relaxing odor. This herb would help to numb the pain of healing and aid in the healing itself. Her work done, she sat next to the bed and waited.
The girl awoke, and Naomi could tell that she was in pain and confused.
"Yes, you have a concussion. It will take a little time to heal on its own. I always try to let the body take care of itself as much as I can." She smiled warmly, "Please rest now. In the morning, everything will be explained."

Feeling his arms around her all she could do was kiss him deeply and lovingly back. Looking into Malek's eyes smiles then said, "You need to rest for awhile... I am waiting on my sister to return, as you must meet her and see if she is telling the truth bout herself. I am unsure if I should believe her." Quin looks away as she is so trusting, but she was having a hard time trusting in elves of her kind, and it hurt her bad.
